Further objects of the invention are to provide, in a manner ashereinafter set forth, a filing receptacle constituting a combinedindex, letter folder and envelope, which is simple in its constructionand arrangement,

strong, durable, compact, thoroughly eflicient and convenient in itsuse, and comparatively inexpensive to manufacture.

WVith'the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists ofthe novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, ashereinafter more specifically described and illustrated in theaccompanying drawings, wherein is shown an embodiment of the invention,but it is to be understood that changes, variations and modificationscan be resorted to which come Within the scope of the claim hereuntoappended.

In the drawings wherein like reference characters denote correspondingparts throughout the several views :-v

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a recepta-' cle, in accordance withthis invention, in extended position.

Figure 2 is a perspective'view of the receptacle in closed position.

Figure 3 is a section on line 3 S Figure 2. .Figure 4 is a section online 4-4 Figure 2. Figure 5 is a plan view 'ofthe blank from which thereceptacle is formed.

Figure 6 is a front elevation of the receptacle, broken away.

Figure 7 is a rear elevation of the receptacle.

Referring to Figure 5 of the drawings a blank from which the receptacleis con-.

structed comprises a pair of'rectangular folds 1,'2 integral with eachother at the inner sides thereof and foldable on the line 8. The

of'thefold 2'and the latterhas projecting from its outer end a taperedextension 4 adapted to receive suitable index indicia,

not shown; The width of the extension" 4 is materially less than that ofthe fold 2. That part of the fold 2, other than the extension 4 thereofis of the same length as the length of the fold 1. Joining with one sideedge of the fold 2, is a fold 5 of less length than the length of thefold 2, but of the same width.-

arnr rice The fold 5 has its outer end spaced inwardly with respect tothe outer end of fold 2 and the inner end of fold 5 is fiushwith theinner end of fold 2. Joining withthe inner end of fold i 5 is a fold 6of slightly less width than that of fold 5, but of a length'rnateriallygreater than the length of fold 5. One side of fold 6 is slightly spacedfrom the adjacent side of fold 1. Joining with the outer end of the fold1, at one side of said end, is afold 7 of a width materially less thanthat of fold 1, but of a length slightly greater than the length of thelatter. The width of fold 7 is substantially half the widthof fold 1'. 1

The outer end of the fold 5 has the major portion thereof inset as at 8and the inner side of the fold 7 has themajor portion thereof inset asat 9. The folds 6 and 8 are folded together upon theline 10. Integralwith the outer end of the fold 6 is a tapered flap 10 foldable relativeto the fold 6 upon the line 11. Integral with the outer side of thefoldl is a narrow, tapered fold 11 of a width corresponding to the length ofthe fold 1, but of a length materially less than any of the folds. Thefold 11 is foldable relative to the fold 1 upon the line 12. Formedintegral with the outer side of the fold 5 is a narrow, tapered fold 13of a width corresponding to the longest portion of the fold 5, but ofalength ma-. terially less than that of said fold 5. The fold 13 isfoldable' relatively to the fold 8 upon'theline 14. Formed integral withthe outer end of the fold 7 is a narrow tapered fold of a widthcorresponding to the outer end of the fold 7, but of a length materiallyless thanthe length ofthe fold 7. Thefold 15 is foldable relative tothe-fold 7 upon the line 16. The folds 11,13 and 15 constitute fold 7.extends across the inner face of the securing flaps and are providedwith an adhesive coating. The adhesive coating is arranged on the outerface of the fold 11, on the inner face of the fold 15 and outer face ofthe fold 13.

V .The receptacle includes an envelope A formed with a flap B, a letterfold C and an index compartment D; The flap B is provided by the flap'10, and the letter folder C by the fold 1.
